Import a Data Store

The Import Data Store feature lets you add a data store to the recovery point server. You can import any existing data store to a recovery point server. The data stores that you have deleted earlier from a recovery point server are available to import.

Note: When the hash data of a deduplication data store is missed or corrupted, you can still import the data store. Provide an empty folder as hash folder. The data store, then, starts in the restore only status and an error message shows that hash role is not working for the empty hash folder. Using this method, you can use the data store only for restore jobs. Rebuild the hash if you want to run the backup job.

Follow these steps:

1. From the Console, click the resources tab.
